RING OF FIRE

Starting along 'The Devil's Ridge', Stob a' Coire Mhail
on the summit of Stob Coire a' Mhail looking back to Sgurr a' Mhaim
The best till last, final Munro of An Gearanach 
and nice easy scrambling on Garbhanach
and across to Gearanach with The Ben in the background
Steall Falls 
What a fabulous and glorious sunny day it was. With high temperatures today and wall to wall sunshine in the  Highlands it felt like summer as finally arrived. What a contrast to less than a week ago when it was snow and winter on the ridges of Lochaber! Today Father and Daughter team Keith and Heather were out with me and wanted a day on the classic ridge walk in The Mamores-The Ring of Steall. A wonderful circuit of 4 Munros encircling the beautiful Steall waterfall. There was a lovely breeze on the tops, we saw only a handful of folk, all going the 'opposite way'. I always start off with Sgurr a' Mhaim first. Plenty of warm, cloudless days to come, till into next week-enjoy!
